According to a report on ComicBook, the Nintendo Switch launch line-up could contain Metroid Prime 4, as well as an unknown Legend of Zelda remake/remaster. That’s on top of the previously reported Breath of the Wild remaster, which was shown to developers to demonstrate the power of the Switch 2.
The hugely varied launch line-up is also said to contain epics like No Man’s Sky and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Sports fans will be pleased to hear that EA Sports FC 25 could also make an appearance on day one
In addition to some of the rumoured launch games below, Nintendo is also said to be working on a new 3D Super Mario game, which I could definitely see launching in 2025.
That’s on top of a new Star Fox game for 2025, not to mention Pokemon Legends: Z-A towards the end of the year. Speaking of which, a new mainline Pokemon release is expected to make its debut in late 2026.
2026 will also reportedly see the release of a new Super Smash Bros game, although other than adding WaLuigi to the roster, we’re not sure how Nintendo can possibly top Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
There’s even talk of a Final Fantasy IX remake launching with the Switch 2 this summer, which would be absolutely amazing news. Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth seem more likely for the launch line-up, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is also mentioned in the report, although Konami is yet to announce a release date for PS5, Xbox or PC, let alone the Switch 2.
The list below features all of the first and third-party games that are tipped for the Switch 2 launch or shortly thereafter.
